I think I see your problem. old mitsu's simply prevent the owner from making lots of money. Do you ever see rich people with a dsm, starquest or even evo's?

I've come to the conclusion that when I feel like making money, I have to sell my conquest. It's the only way.

True, I have saved a TON of money by getting rid of my dsm. Even if the guy with the ferrari spent the $5,000 on how to drive it he still would have lost in the said competition.

The brainerd road race course is a blast, James (slowbubblecar) and I went a couple of weeks are hooked. We are getting brakes and other things ready on my (new) viper to help keep it on the track . Going fast in a straight line is fun but I want to stay on it! Racing around a track you are flying from one corner to the next and it is a hell of alot more fun that making one trip down the strip. Not saying that I didn't just buy some nice tires to see what it can do in the 1/4 mile, just saying that it is alot more fun for me.

We went to the performance driving school and would recommend it to anyone who likes messing around in cars. You can use there car if you want and there are experienced instructors to ride around with you and give you pointers.

Back on topic: Nice kill. I couldn't even get vettes to line up with me when I had my dsm. I had to run mustangs, SRT-4s, and porsches if they were willing to go. If I had a ferrari I sure as shit wouldn't be racing people. Part as I know they are not the fastest cars, I would have nothing to prove by beeting others, and it wouldn't be worth the risk of getting caught to win a race I don't care to win.

Maybe I am just getting old (24) but I think more and more about the risks of getting caught so I hessitate on racing anything or even a burnout in a parking lot.
